Am I mistaken, or isn't the whole idea to interpret the LAWS according to the CONSTITUTION?

You obviously have a better grasp of the law than the "former prosecutor", however he is using the "Liberal Definition" here.

You are correct but I don't think Ruth Bader Ginsburg agrees with you.

Bush got it right in his answer -- "according to the constitution". Kerry, as usual, was exactly 180° off. The dumbed-down sheeple will NOT make the distinction.

As usual, I agree 100% with a right wringer.

Well to the rats it's always a matter of what the definition of "is" is.

Look at the attempt to steal the election in 2000, or the Mayor of San Francisco breaking California law. And on and on they think the Judicial Branch is for enacting the liberal, socialist agenda when they lack the public support to get it through the Legislative Branch.

You hit it on the head!!! One of the biggest problems in this country is IGNORANCE AND COMPLACENCY. If we could kill those two major problems, the liberal Dems would be history, as we know them today.

Amazing. I thought he said he was a lawyer. All that botox on his forehead has seeped into his frontal lobes. On the other hand, very few people from Massachusetts have much understanding of either the Constitution or the law.

Not only that, he misquoted Justice Potter Stewart regarding them being a "Christian, Jew or Muslim." He never said Muslim in that 1981 quote.

Kerry is prevaricating AGAIN.

I agree. Liberals is not only bad - it is immoral.

Not any of the "undecided" ditzheads there last night.

Half of them couldn't read their own question.

Extremely good catch, and you're absolutely correct.

Kerry is a constituional idiot. Unfortunately, so are most Dem/Com/Soc/Libs.

I wish Bush had mentioned the Dems, including Kerry, trashing their constitutional role of advise and consent pursuant to appointment of judges.

That is an area that has been seriously trashed by the filibustering
Damallrats.

Indeed. And it's interesting that Kerry plans to control the Supreme Court from the White House.

This gets reaks of Kerry's sequential dimentia "When, not if" or "If, not when" or whatever the confused emphasis he couldn't articulate in the 2nd debate.

Laws, constitution -- constitution, laws... you say tomato etc... I voted for it before I voted against it... its all the same just a little different. /sarcasm.
